March 28, 2017 05:36 pm
The Colombo Commercial High Court Monday gave time for the respondents to file objections with respect of a case filed against former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and six others over the failure to make payments due to SLTB for buses hired during the last Presidential election.
The Sri Lanka Transport Board (SLTB) filed the case at the Commercial High Court claiming that losses amounting to over Rs 140 million had been incurred as a result of non-payment of monies owed for buses used for election campaigning during the Presidential polls.
The case will be taken up for hearing again on 23 May.
